- I made a prediction about Pokémon GO Fest and today we find out of I was right! Pokémon GO Fest has wrapped up for me here in Berlin and its time to compare the global GO Fest with the in-person one.

It’s funny how all these content creators say in person go fest better… they obviously have the resources the money the time to do all that…. where as the majority typical player doesn’t have all those luxuries to do it all. Really upset and hope August final event makes up for it
Thank you, you’re speaking fax, also 🖕niantic
@John Jones of course I don’t blame them but they can’t neglect the fact that money and resources do factor in it. It definitely makes a huge difference. Like I said the mass majority of the fan base doesn’t have access to those luxuries. I’m glad they got to go and have fun, but it do put the majority of fan base to the side.
They are flown around the world to these events on Niantic’s dime. I wonder how many of them would be flying internationally to these events if Niantic didn’t pay for it? 🤔🤔🤔
@@frozenforest_8432 yea i agree, i get very jealous of it honestly, because i would lovee to go to one, and i couldve went to berlin, because i live in the Netherlands and its pretty close, but im not old enough to go alone and my parents wouldnt go with me:( i also hope august event makes up for it because the global was kind of a scam.
It's because they cater to young adults with no obligations or kids. So and majority of the people that go to these events are exactly that. I don't have thousands of dollars to drop on a weekend trip to some random place Niantic chooses. But they allowed eveyone to play during global wrether you had a ticket or not. So why didn't they do better to do that for global then there random little crap research that had pansear that couldn't be shiny. With next to no spawns you have to catch for it. They care only for the people in person because they spend money while they are there and making more money. Which is why we got the bad shiny rates in global. This game has really became such a disappointment lately. And I've played since day one. SMH. When will they start to care.
See I get it. Niantic wants people to come to these events and participate. Its a big deal.
But you have a lot of players (myself included) who have been around since the beginning and have had to watch all the other players participate in the big events and feel disappointed they don't get those experiences.
So when Global go fest happens now, where everyone gets the chance to get that same experience and get shinies and get to feel like they are finally at a safari zone/ go fest that always felt out of reach, its an exciting thing. And when you have a go fest where Niantic just refuses to give everyone that great experience, it sucks. This year definitely was that for a lot of people.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the global event this year, but I think I was in the minority. People are left with a bad experience and I don't know what we'll see in the future. But people aren't gonna be happy with this. We've already seen it and its gonna get worse with Seattle and Sapporo happening soon.
Anyway, just my two cents.
Agree 100%
I know I will never be able to travel to Germany or Japan for a pogo event as I’m only 16, so it’s nice to feel included in such a fun go fest and I had a decent go fest (50 shiny) I would hope they can increase the global go fest even if that means increasing the ticket price. I would hope they either can have multiple per country yearly for example one in Chicago one in Washington and one in Miami and same thing for other country’s.
That's part of the problem. Everyone expects to "get that same experience" from a Global event. Not going to happen, and shouldn't be expected. But we should expect a decent Global Go Fest.
Fax
I only paid for one Go Fest it was 2020 and I got a lot of stuff. But I stopped. I only spend 20€ on that game on my account. And I play since February 2018.
I noticed that I am a lot more chilled, when I don't have a ticket and the need to catch a lot of shinys. I only wanted the spawns and XL for some of the mons there.
But still I managed to get 9 shinys. 5 of them were new. Girafarig, Hitmonchan, Pikachu with the Shaymin flower, Shroomish (ok that was 2 mins after Go Fest but still) and Burmy female. Those were new.
3x Bronzor and 1x Meditie.
So as non ticket owner I was very happy about that outcome.
In person go fest looks great. Too bad it's borderline impossible for most people. Too expensive to travel on top of taking time off work/away from responsibilities. Everyone has access to global, so it should be the main event while in person is the fun bonus that people can attend, instead of global being a fun little bonus and in person being an actual event.
This is my take as well
Exactly!
I could only imagine a minimum for f 3-4k to be able to do that if you didn’t live there
The problem with Global being the main event is that if it is the main/better event nobody would go to the in person events. I’m sure Niantic has to put a lot of money and time into these in person Go-Fests in order to make them happen at all. The in person events are better because the money/time needed to go there needs to be worth the event. No one would fly out to an event if it was anything like the Global Go-Fest.
Facts. Even the "local" options are hard for people to go to like in the US, its Seattle. That takes away most of the countries players since a cross country flight alone is insanely priced. At least Chicago tried to be more central for all players in the US
I don’t get why niantic has to nerf global go fest to make in person go fest better. Just add more bonuses to in person events, or make in person go fests accessible to more of the playerbase.
You forgot to mention DESPAWN RATES in global go fest which was through the roof. Rare pokemons were disappearing constantly, incense was in shambles. In person events are always better.
Youre right niantic is doing this on purpose
You also FORGOT the game freezing during raids like honestly this felt like a go fest as if it was from beta pogo
There were some despawns In Berlin too. I’m probably seemingly whenever I wanted a snorlax.
At global go fest we join the community too
@@s.Friel6942 we had it all in Berlin. Raid freezes, despawns. Only a minor problem on a great day!
In my opinion one of the biggest flaws of global go fest was the absurdly increased ticket price. last year was way cheaper and offered a way better experience.
if this years global go fest would have cost like 5$ a ticket it would get way less criticism
The reason for those extra $5 was that you’re paying for Go fest and another event on August
No, people would still be mad even if it were free. That's people.
@@whiterabbit6341 yeah there are always a few people like that. but the majority of the players would be satisfied. this year i dont think there is anybody satisfied
@@whiterabbit6341 we complain about free stuff because it always sucks from niantic
My problem with global Go Fest wasn't that it was worse than in-person, it was that Niantic didn't tell us it would be worse than the previous years. Without disclosing that, everyone reasonably expected the shiny rates to be as they'd previously been, and were effectively sold a ticket to the event under false pretenses on what they would receive.
And more money then other years
I agree with this. While I usually don't complain much, getting 1000 more catches than last year (actually more like 1200) and getting 20 less shinies, yeah rates were definitely off. The only time I start shiny checking is usually once 5 mintues remain so I can positively say I had that many more catches. Their wording was also a little iffy on a couple other items as before global GO fest it was just 9 free raid passes and a bundle of 3 free remotes yet after the event there were no 3 free remotes and apparently it was 9 free raid passes a day (so 18). I'm not looking for them to give out shiny rates that will happen per each pokemon, but their advertising needs to step up as it's borderline missleading.
First things first, I LOVE Pokemon Go SO Much! It’s one of my hobbies and without it I’d be kinda bored. However, Global Go Fest was a farce. We ALL paid to get lowered shiny rates, Disappearing spawns and hourly changing spawns. Watching all the content from Berlin was fun but sad to see that Niantic have actually scammed players who physically cannot make in person events for a number of reasons. Not surprised by Niantics decisions as they have turned into a cash cow. I’m still 100% gonna play but I’m no longer giving Niantic a penny 😔😔😔
Unown very not even in incense
I totally agree 100% with you that's why i sticked my middle finger to Niantic and i Spoofed my self to Berlin. I know RISKY but i am not willing to pay 200£ for the plane ticket + 100£ for the hotel accommodation + whatever i will spend to eat, ON TOP of the price ticket. Is just a no no in days like that. Some people are STILL recovering from the COVID pandemic.
I am against spoofing, i don't usually spoof cause i don't want to loose my account but this is a d1ck move from Niantic okay they want to bring the community together but at least give a chance to the rest of the world. They put Nihelgo in Raids they should do the same to Pheromosa not to mention the unown shiny rates was of the roof, i my self got 5 shinny.
@@ceciliaramos9547 they were
We have to come to terms with the simple fact, that the majority within the community, will never experience an in person Go Fest. As much as we would like to, there are only a few happening per year. Traveling, the stay, costs money. Whoever can afford to go, will definitely get their money's worth.
However, I honestly thought the Global Go Fest would give that majority a similar Go Fest experience, and tbh, this year, it did not. F2p players have absolutely been neglected, and ticket holders, who were supposed to get that experience they paid for, basically got ripped off. Seeing the difference between Global and Berlin, I honestly believe, Niantic's attention and effort is gonna be put fully into in person Go Fest, and they'll abandon the Global Go Fest concept. There should have been a makeup event planned for what happened this year, people called out for it, and Niantic didn't even bother to respond. The statements they gave in that one interview with Pokemon Go Hub, already showed me that.
I feel more and more lately Niantic becoming more selfish as a company, focusing on mainly content creators and city based player where as more and more now rural players getting left behind. I understand that in gofest would have better spawns, but again more then 60% of players most likely can’t just leave everything behind for a game. I live in Sydney, Australia where my regional Pokémon has been featured around the world multiple times and yet we’ll most likely never get a in person gofest ever.
Lately Niantic have upped the price of remote raid passes, decreased the incense ability, decreased the items in the 1 pokecoin bundle, increased most rare Pokémon behind a paywall that without the free remote raid now, most of us rural players will never be able to get. I understand content creators vs city players vs rural was never going to be even, but it feels like more and more lately Niantic are forcing the rest of the player base to look at what the more privileged are able to obtain and are like ‘deal with it’.
You’re hitting nail on head. I am a ‘content creator,’ but I live in an area where rural and city meet and it’s not any better with Niantic getting greedy like you said. The combo boxes have been nerfed, daily boxes are trash, one coin bundles are progressively getting worse…but it’s our fault.
I very much appreciate my shundo mega Kangaskhan, thank you 😊 At least it’s a nice one, ours is Mr. Mime 🤢
i think it's despicable that they would dumb down global Gofest like they did with the intention to make in person go fest better. Paying customers are paying customers, and there one shouldn't be penalized if they can't travel.
IKR it’s so BS who tf thought it was a good idea to bring back in person go fests
I think it’s the other way around. They reward you for spending possibly hundreds of dollars to go to in person gofests (Think about it food, hotel, travel, tickets, that costs a lot) if they made the global gofest equal to the in person one, that just wouldn’t be fair, would it?
I won’t call the global gofest “dumbed down” yet because the grand finale could possibly be even as good as the in person gofests. Therefore, I can’t make a true conclusion until then..
They didn’t explicitly state they were doing that. Although it’s implied with how the Global Fest went, I spoofed the global go fest in NYC and got I believe 40-55 Shinies. I also played the entire time.
I also spoofed to Berlin this morning (after working 12 hours on my feet in the kitchen. Which is why I spoof. I literally can never play I work so much.) I got a total of 71 Shinies from Berlin and I was only able to play for a few hours as I passed out for a two hour period there 🙃
All in all I loved both events, but I will admit this Berlin Go Fest was really awesome and I could imagine it would’ve been even better had I been able to actually be in Berlin.
Overall great video again Mystic.
@@s.Friel6942 I agree they are kinda stupid. That’s niantics idea of “promoting exercise” bruh. Same with the safari zones. It’s so unfair
@@CptFuzzAldrin How are you spoofing ? Is it not risky right now ???
Pokémon go content creators should not be listened to when it comes to how good an event was. They obviously don’t reflect the time and the resources that most players have so you see a trend where for everyone else it was shit but for them it was great. You’re out of the loop from us dude.
Why though ? Even I could tell you that the in person event will be much better; not having played the event and also much before the event would even occur. What else were you expecting from this company ? I would actually suggest you to listen to them carefully. Most of them seem to say that it was much better than the global event. I mean , is that even something to compare to? The weekly events that followed were much better than global fest with stupid habitat spawns. It is so interesting that many of them say how fun it was playing together and so on. None of those things make the event great in itself. I felt like they were at least being honest about it.
@@zard0055 yes, but it’s also gonna coast toy 20x the price including the flight, hotel and the ticket
I feel pretty ripped off by Global Go Fest, especially after seeing how good the in-person ones are. I totally agree that in-person events should be better and have more hype, but then they should absolutely lower the price of global events because this year the Global Fest straight up wasn't worth the price tag. Hoping the August finale makes up for it though
This video made me feel like the 1% telling the 99% how nice they have it lol. I know it’s not meant that way just funny.
I think if they would expand locations of in person Go Fests, it would really make a lot of people feel better about the global even not being as good. Like here in the U.S., we got an in person event in Seattle. But a lot of people are struggling in this economy and travel is outrageous. With that struggle in mind, Niantic should expand in person events to include different regions of the countries where it is taking place. For example, we have the Gofest event in Seattle, which is the Northwest corner of the country. At the same time why not give the Southeast region an event? Say somewhere like Jacksonville or even Atlanta.
I’m from Florida, and if a go fest in person event was happening in the southeast, I wouldn’t mind driving 4 to 6 hours to the event. Not sure what Niantic has to lose by making an expansion like that. It would just end up making them more money honestly, but it would be mutually beneficial for the global community.
It would be great if they made all go fest events global in select major cities so more people could go to go fest and build community while not having to travel outrageous amounts.
For instance, as you mentioned, you are in the southeast US. What would you say about Niantic putting a go fest event in Miami or Orlando, but also putting the same event in other cities like Milan, London and Berlin, Philadelphia, Seattle, Chicago and San Francisco and assorted cities in South America, Asia, Africa and Australia.
Niantic could have an in person go fest event, and not make it locked to one city. More people would go. They would make more money, and we could build community in our cities with people we would see a lot more often.
Plus, they could make it a massive 2 day event with different spawns each day, so the first day could have 80 spawns and the second could have a similar amount and both days would have a good amount (50 or 60 with 6 new ones on both days) of shiny possible pokemon for us to hunt to keep it interesting.
They could also try to make spoofing less of an issue with an event like this by forcing you to choose the city where you want spawns to be activated for you out of the catalog of possible cities. So spoofers that want to play the event before the rest of the people in their time zone couldn't then decide that they would want to play in both Australia/NZ and the US to get double the spawns.
@@BearKub13 what about in Europa if it what more in Europa that would be good too
@@manolyarayqu0729 Yeah, they could make go fest global without being global, in Europe they could do the following cities.
London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan. Rome, Venice, Munich, Warsaw, Budapest, Madrid, a few others I can't think of right now. Europe is pretty big so there would be a lot of cities, and some of the countries, like Spain, France, Germany and Italy would have multiple to account for the various regions and travel times.
I think there are also a few countries that Pokemon Go doesn't operate in (Russia and China for instance, which is why I left out Moscow and St. Petersburg.)
And to be clear, I was just using my own country as an example. I would wish this for everyone ❤️
@@LeewardSideMusic same maybe one day niantic will do it for more cities
I can understand the logic behind nerfing the global experience, but it hurts all the same. This is the first year I have been playing where I am fortunate enough to have an in-person event in my area, and I jumped on that chance! However, it also worries me that Go-Fest, a special event by so many trainers, may in time be put back into the format of "in-person-only" and ruin the joy of the events for so many who don't have the resources to just drop everything and travel for a Go-Fest. Thousands of dollars and so much planning are required if you want to attend one of these in-person events if you are outside the area.
I know and do understand that Niantic wants to make this an in-person game, and I agree that it should be! Please don't detract from the excitement and joy of a great game experience for those who don't have the time and money to go anywhere in the world though. That's all we're asking. It is a great game, a great event when done properly. You are in charge of one of the greatest mobile games ever... And to be fair, I do see where they have made strides to improve, acknowledge, and explain changes and features they have tweaked.
Again, just please don't take this away from players who love this game.
I wish I could travel to the in person events :(
Same my guy, same :(
@@shutcorn1388 me living in germany xD but i feel you like the safari zones :C
Same
You can though
I can’t actually, it’s very expensive to travel, and I don’t play Pogo for a living so it’s not worth it
I remember when the first global Pokemon go fest was announced in 2020 I was excited to finally get to experience Go Fest like the content creators I watched did. Niantic really made sure we still played during the pandemic...remember Legendary Pokémon in GBL that happened enough to have a chance at that shiny you could never get in your tiny town, or the shadow Pokémon from Go Fest 2020, but even then what we got globally didn't compare to the Chicago Go Fests of years prior. Yeah, you had to fork put some cash to get there,but remind me how much your ticket cost, because I'm pretty sure it wasn't far off from what the global tickets cost us. While I do enjoy the content yall make, lately it feels like watching the favorite kids ride space mountain while the rest of us are shuffled down to the rusty teacup ride from 1950. Is it a touch of jealous Yes, I believe so, but remember many of us have been playing since day one as well and have watched as our favorite game consistently takes from us while showering the cool kids with every trainers dream.
Sad that Niantic doesn’t care about the majority of their player base. Just sad.
IK
What does that mean? They already did soooo many things in the past years to improve gameplay for r anyone: global Go Fest, increased spawns, increased Gym and pokestop Radius, remote raids and much more. I wouldn't say that they don't care about us.
@@drachenlord_0076 where have you been? They did all of that for covid and have since made all of it worse. The only reason the spin distance was restored to the longer distance was because there was a major outcry with a campaign from the content creators.
gacha games ALWAYS cater to whales what do you expect lol
@@franko6677 If they wouldn't care why did they increase the distance of stops and added remote raids?
I’m sure there are people who think that the in-person events should be better, because you have to travel; however, as someone who can’t spend the money to go to any of the in-person Go Fests, knowing what I now know, I don’t want to support Niantic with my money - and that includes future games. The incense decisions, trying to force us to play more outside in 2021 with a raging pandemic, making Go Fests better based on who could afford expensive travel, (basically) telling people with mobility issues that PoGo is not for them, not listening to the concerns of the community, I don’t know … I kinda hope all their games flop. And I would argue that going to Germany (or Japan) is the real reason to pay the travel expenses, instead of a ticket to a PoGo event. But, hey, if this is the way Niantic want it, I’m more than happy to stop giving them money.
Honestly for both GoFest they should’ve had the same shiny rates, like for the limitations that Global (besides the lower shiny rates) were already a good enough indicator that the in person GoFest were still going too be better to go too anyway especially since you can just pick & choose Pokemon too actually hunt for plus there’s no time limit besides just the GoFest event hours. So because the in person GoFest was still going too be better anyway than the Global one anyway, too quote make it feel less like the people that are physically incapable in going too a in person GoFest got shafted they should’ve at least kept the shiny rates the same in all of the GoFests honesty
No.
@@delfinozuir5549 just too be clear “No” for what?
@@ConnerTravis1998 you're spending a lot more money on in person go fest why would they make it the same.
@@delfinozuir5549 because of the rarer pokemon better spawns and other stuff that already came with it
What you are saying is like hey you spent more money so we are going to give the others shit and give you luxury
Can we just not have one be absolute garbage while the other has almost no problems and just have them be worth the price and be fun not “just another event” at this point i was happier doing deino community day than gofest and gofest is supposed to be the big thing of the year not some dumpsterfire for the people who arent rich
@@delfinozuir5549 I said the shiny odds to be the same and nothing else, I don’t think because they do spend more money that justifies that dramatic difference between the shiny odds. I made it clear already that yes I agree that the in person GoFest had too be better but I gave the reasoning beside the shiny odds why it justifies that which includes why you do spend more money for it, but as for the shiny odds which they already do on a regular basis for events that we get for free does not justify that. Again all I said was the shiny odds be the same and nothing else
remember that most of these content creators were sponsored or got flown out by niantic to attend.
Global for the poor Berlin for the rich
Well, no. Sorry but I feel like they MASSIVELY overhyped the shiny rate for the global go fest. Meaning unless you have the money, time and the ability to travel in terms of your physical ability, you got shafted.
Sorry but I feel like Niantic ended up overhyping their event. I wish I hadn’t purchased it tbh.
It wasnt overhyped. They flat out advertised it that ticketholders would have increased shiny odds. They wrote that black on white. This is straight up scamming your players.
Global gofests will always be better because they’re made for everyone. not the monetized 1% of the community that can afford all the luxuries to go to the in person ones. It’s kind of giving the vibe of “if you’re not rich and can travel multiple times a year you can’t afford to enjoy this game to its fullest” not a good move for a game that runs on FOMO
Also the ticket for global go fest is not more cheaper than the in person one, so basically shows that Niantic is just a shit company.
They either need to make both experiences on a par with each other...Or ensure every country has at least one in person event. That way players may have at least a chance of travelling to in person events.
You can't really do that as alot of country's won't allow it. An entire park (that's big enough to host a go fest) needs to be used + payed for. Besides that there has to be atleast a set number of hotels nearby that park and it needs to have alot of parking spots nearby.
It's alot harder to get an in person go fest to work then people think.
It is nice to do all of that exploring and stuff like that for in person experience but most of us don’t make enough to travel while keeping our jobs which barley pay enough as is for daily life necessities.
If the ticket prices are the same I expect the same spawn/shiny rates wether its in person or global ticket to play at home
Ticket prices were different in person was 2x-3x cost depending on options
I'm agreeing with everyone who has made the same comments about the Global Gofest versus the the being there in person. The one issue I had with the video, and I'm really shocked that most of the content creators didn't think about it before they said it; was that they had more fun being there in person with friends to enjoy it with. Where does it say that those of us who participated in the Global GoFest didn't have fun with our friends at those events and we're still disappointed with the lackluster support that we got from Niantic. We pay very good money to participate in an event with friends and family in an event where we expect certain things that we've gotten in the past and we don't get it. And those of us who had to work to pay bills, did our best to play while we were dealing with lackluster incense that was nerfed by Niantic, was very disappointing and, very honestly, childish on their part. The idea of incense is to draw things to you, not necessarily walking and drawing to you. I'm hoping that the finale in August will make up for all the lackluster Global GoFest. Maybe it's time to do another No Go, and maybe for an entire weekend put our phones down and not play. Hit them in the pocket books again. Just a thought...
Probably why there's such a spike in spoofing it's hard for people to finance trips across the world everytime there's an event
If I was betting on it I'd bet global go fest won't be a thing within a year or two.
NGL with how much of a b*tch niantic is I wouldn’t be suprised
probably, if they continue doing the same sht next year
Nah. This is probably the last year where they'll do it. Next year there won't be a global go fest. At the rate they're going, by next year most of the things they added in 2020 will be gone. No more remote raid passes or raids for example. Don't think so? Just look at how they nerfed remote raids.
All right but to be fair, Niantic should give us refund for global go fest. It was absolute shit compared to this, not to mention absolutely broken incense. The spawns were garbage, shiny odds difference was abysmal and overall it was... Just ugh. 15$?! 15$ for this?! For me it was nearly 100 PLN which is plenty of money to spend on a game, I got expectations to be met. I bought it for banger spawns and shinies, not for ordinary pidoves or god knows what else. AND IN PERSON GO FEST GOT A ROTOM TOO?! Well wonder when will global players get one
It was sad that I didn't get to meet you at the Go Fest Berlin, you were one of the few people I actually wished to meet! But it was still the best event I've ever been to so I am happy to share that with so many others. Hopefully I get to meet you the next time! Sending you the best of luck man!
My opinion on Niantic in general is they're a good company with a great game but they have the opportunity to make that game the best it can be. They have 6 years of data and yet they are still making some rookie mistakes by not listening to their player base and prioritising those players that can afford to travel to every in person event.
Its 2022 and companies that discriminate (against those that are not able to play outside) are not going to last long. I understand Niantic have to listen to the Pokemom Company and they want to increase the longevity of the game by decreasing shiny rates for global GoFest but if they don't listen to their player base then the game won't last long enough for them release new shinies/pokemon.
As always I love the video and content. Hopefully someday I'll experience an in person event.
I don’t think niantic is a good company. They’re greedy assholes who don’t deserve our money
Discriminate is a strong word my guy
@@TRSCARLET and it was used correctly 🤨
@@After_Genesis nah
@@TRSCARLET I agree with you. Finally someone not bandwagoning on the hate train for Niantic. What they're doing isn't ideal to the playerbase's liking, but Niantic is still suceeding so at the moment they don't need to change much that would benefit the players. They are a business, and they want to withhold things (like Kecleon) because theres only so much they can do with Pokemon GO. They're stretching their sucess by stretching their resources in what they can add to their game and you can't really blame them.
I’ve never heard of this experience nor imagined this
I think when considering the areas that this game is lacking polish in, people should also remember the fact that Niantic at its core is about data collection first and foremost and not a gaming company
True, but when you want to make money off of data you collect from games, you need to get a feeling for your customers and those are gamers. There is a reason why every other AR game they produce fails. They won't be able to ride the pokemon franchise for very long after covid, if they continue to discourage a lost of their playerbase.
I honestly just feels so unfair that people who don’t have the kind of money to go in person get the shaft.
Sky forme shaymin will for sure be releasing worldwide at some point same with the ultra beast one thing I’m concerned is that cowboy hat snorlax 😞
I really like the idea of making the city hype for the weekend to make it more fun and more worth it to travel there. I wasn't fair to the add on bonuses because I didn't understand that they were meant for an entire weekend to make playing hard for the special travel weekend more fun. I like their thinking.
Bro thank you mystic for making videos it's really entertaining keep up the good work
Every video, no matter the type, Mystic can make me so jealous with his boss Pokemon... Great content tho
It’s nice that there are more shinys in the in-person go fest you get to have fun and grind the shiny you want.
I don’t have a problem with in person GoFests being better than the global version, but at least make the Global GoFests worth it. Global GoFest event had lower than usual shiny rates, incense despawns, and a joke of a “Raid Day” for day 2.
IMO, having more locations for GoFest would be beneficial for both Niantic and players. But I’m sure they’re just considering other ways to nerf existing benefits to incentivize spending, instead of improving the player experience.
4:47 "only one of us caught the shiny unown and it fled unfortunately"
when doing the shiny trick remember to watch the spawns and make sure its not an incense or lure spawn, the trick will only work for a wild spawn as the despawn timer is longer
When you dont have the time or money to go to a whole other country you get dissapointed seeing that you are left behind of everyone who is able to go somewhere and have the time of their lives playing something they enjoy. Global go fest should be this experience, and be fun for everyone no matter where they have to go, whether they have to stay at home, or not.
In person Go Fest looks like a way better experience, hopefully they bring an in person even to Australia then I might be able to make it to one lol
People who were in Berlin got a ton MORE shiny per Pokemon per hour, whereas when I was at Global Fest, I caught everything I could, but I never saw a single shiny. I DID see much common Deino curing Community Day, where I caught like 16 for the 3-hour period.
What I saw is that people at Community Day: Berlin saw shiny rates near what I saw at Deino Day, but what I saw at Community Day (the days I had at weekend) were at a much reduced rate for the weekend
I’m happy you and a few got to go and enjoy the in-person events once again. They do look like a lot of fun. It is unfortunate that >95% of the fan base will never be able to go to one of these. It was so exciting to see a global go fest in 2020 and 2021 because it allowed every fan the chance to experience even just a small part of this type of event. With the nerfing in 2022, they took that small part away and hurt the community.
It’s like watching a sporting event. Most are watching from home or on a tv. A selected few who could afford a ticket and travel got to experience it in person, but everyone still got to watch the game. This year, Pokémon go let the fans at home watch the first half of the game, but said only in person gets to enjoy the full experience.
I miss when during an event like safari zone they would have a special spawn globally like for instance wingull released at a safari zone but boosted globally
Can they even call the global event that happened a Go Fest any more compared to this? Some of us are unable to travel and thought Niantic were doing a good thing with global but in fact it was just a quick ruse to fool the majority of the player base into thinking we would get a good event, just for them to steamroll us AND drop this on us just to add insult to injury. This was a great video and looked like a fun time but the event was a kick in the balls to all of us who paid for the global one.
Thanks for the video a lot of people are thinking about this topic.
Hi,
I don't know if you remember us....my brother and I saw you, TrainerTipps and KruseShip on Sunday in Berlin.
I wanted to thank you again for the nice conversation and for the photos. It was really nice to meet you.
My sentiments exactly. In person go fests make even the best community days pail in comparison. And the worst community days make the global go fests pail in comparison. Comparing in person fests to global fest is like comparing a filet mignon to a McDonald's patty. And the big kicker was trying to hype the community for go fest, as awesome as a in person event is, you and I know that reality (hyping the awesome filet) then PoGo hands us the McDonald's patty wannabe fests. I couldn't and won't make that mistake again.
Wow the shills are out in force today
I do Darkrai raids so much today but don't get one shiny then i do two artocino raids and get two shiny back to back

Like who tf thought it was a good idea to bring back in person events
Loved the in person go Fest it was amazing the atmosphere and I will never forget the stampede for a hundo cowboy hat snorlax
Shiny Pokémon are fun but I agree with trainer tips at the end, it’s all about spending time with the people. I’ve hid under trees with friends playing the game, chasing down raids. That’s my favorite part of the game.
They maybe should've done a watered-down version of the event globally
Got 15 shiny's at global go fest and 100 shiny's at Berlin....
Were you there on Saturday because I searched for you?
Don’t forget berlin was much more expensive plus flight ticket and hotel room
In person go fest would be good….. IF ONLY THEY HAD ONE IN EVERY COUNTRY!
I am so happy that you can all meet up again at these in person events, but taking the cost out of the equation not every Pokémon player in the world could go to in person events, it just wouldn't work. So I think the Global event should have the same advantages as the in person events! After all it is only once a year!
This Global Go Fest was by far the worst go fest to ever happen in Pokémon Go history. Usually I have 20-30+ shinies at the end of a go fest. This go fest I only got 3, and I stayed out for all of the hours. Truly a disappointment.
So this is the "Fair play" Niantic is talking about...
a typical tuesday beat this years global go fest. the bar was so low you had to hire a mining expedition to reach the center of the earth just to see the top of that bar. seriously it was horrible in a way that should have gotten half the staff of niantic fired with no severance pay.
I am thankful for having both options. Everyone can play the global one and if you have the opportunity for the inperson events, you can travel to a distanced city and meet trainers from all over the world. I played the global one at Budapest and it was crazy, way more spawns than i can catch and many trainers from all over europe were there, too. So i really appreciate to have both options, though i prefer inperson ones. I am staying thursday to monday in Berlin and it's an excellent experience.
Only person missing is Poke Daxi. There will be more opportunities. its nice to see you guys come together on each other’s channel… cool cross over
Not to mention the Berlin tickets were $33 plus a option for 2 different $10 boosts. Also that ticket is just for one of the three days.
For me, No shinies at the go fest start, the odds of finding a shiny were low for me
Global n in person shiny rates should be the same no matter what. In my case travelling outside of the country is difficult due not always having fully accessible areas to play along with how much it cost to travel. Niantic needs to do better in supporting the global community.
BUT I guess thar might be harder to do with apparently some people leaving or getting fired....
It’s actually really unfair for Niantic to punish players who can’t afford to travel the world for all the in person events. Once again Niantic favour money above everything…. It’s not like Niantic are struggling in that department or anything but the greed is just shameful from niantic and they’ve made it very clear over the last few years( especially the last few months) that unless you give them money they don’t care.
Being a local streamer, even though I have followers from all over world, global go fest was a mess. The fact Niantic admitted they purposely nerfed the shiny rates was absolute trash. By far the worst Go Fest they’ve done since the first one back in 2017 Chicago. As a non sponsored, Pokémon go content creator, Niantic has consistently dropped the ball with free to play players. Being a global go fest, it should have been free. Now the go fest Berlin and Seattle, I get why you pay for those but globally, regardless of ticket status should have been free for all players. I streamed Go Fest outside, and saw very little to no people walking around playing. The issue is, unless hundreds of thousands of players complain at once, Niantic does not and will need listen to us. As much as I like Mystic7, been a sub and follower since his first Pogo video, Niantic only listens to the ‘big time’ content creators. It’s easy to boast about an event in which Niantic gives you everything you want so you can make them look good. For the normal players who play for free and spend maybe $20 a month on game, go fest was terrible. Seeing Go Fest Berlin, and all these content creators get rewarded is not sending a great message for us. We got the ‘here you go ‘go fest’
They got the ‘real’ go fest.
I've learned my lesson. Won't be buying any ticket for Go Fest next year after we got scammed.
I got about 19 shinies today. A whopping 5 of which were unowns which is good I am told.
Also got 1 foongus and 3 cowboy snorlaxes.
How you got 51 is beyond me. I was GRINDING and ended with under half of that lol.
Would love if they'd do an in person go fest in each state. just one, smack dab in the middle of the state. No way I would drive into seattle. i dont wanna get stabbed.
Well that sucks for normal players like me who don’t get to travel much.
I predict cowboy snorlax is gonna be in the final ultra unlock
All those GoFest Berlin videos from content creators would’nt have had the same excitement factor if they’d endured the same shiny rate as everyone else
I would like to do at least one in person go fest, but money go brrr
It's messed up how @Niantic takes our money but still suck by decreasing shiny rates. And also on the incense we pay for it but still 1 pokemon every 5 min is crap....
In person events for specialty events while a global fest so everyone can enjoy the biggest event of the year.
Those whom don't have the means of airfare travel or hotel money can still participate in decent shiny hunting or remote raids. I'd enjoy go fest way more if it were open to any player regardless of buying a ticket or not.
Impressive recap. Your shiny luck in Berlin was madness. Always glad to see the squad together also 💯. Someone needs to tell the KruseShip he's waring his tank tops backwards... More nip slips than a strip club 🤪
I enjoyed the global go fest but berlin was SO MUCH FUN, going to the different habitats and seeing what niantic did, MOLTEN AREA HELLO IT LOOKED INSANE!! I got 29 shinies in berlin but had the best time ever
Me and the boys still waiting for Australian go fest
they need to do multiple inperson event locations on the same weekend.
4 city's in different locations around the world so the global community have a chance to attend these events.
there has never been a major in person event in Australia in the 6 years since this game started, the closest event was a flight to Singapore.
so if the did one city per region
north/south America
Asia pacific
Europe
and then a bonus city
Not all players can travel and the in person events can't fit all players and every player deserves a go fest no matter where they live just like everyone gets community days.
and id say also unown shiny rate was basically full odds 1/450 during global.
Great video keep it up dude!
When they have a pokemon go fest in in Milwaukee I will go. Other than that they freeze out 99.9% of their clients by not having it in other major markets.
Not everyone have the luxury to attend in person go fest...
Mystic getting 51 shinies during in person go fest. Cool 51 ain’t bad
Me: Gets 2 Shinies In A Row
YAAAAAAAA LETS GOOOOOO!!! Keep in mind I’m in the middle of a mall
Of coarse the paid to travel content creators would say in-person events are better. They did the event for free!
I know that Niantic rip people off in the globe event and the in person get shiny boost
But what about Seattle and the two different places to play? Half downtown - and half at Seattle center. I feel like I am getting cheated that I will only have the habitat areas available for half the day. Any input would help. Thanks!
Damn I wish I had the money to go to Berlin and play that go fest wish niantic could do something about it for the players that can’t afford to do that
I was one of the lucky few to catch an unown B during global go fest, I was so hyped.
Having joined the Berlin event I will say that in person was way more fun then the global. However, there were 2 add ons you could buy and sadly enough those were not really worth it. You had 12 raid passes extra a day (did not get communicated it was a day) but during the go fest hours there were almost no raids in the park. You could do them before and after the event time so it did make up for it (kinda). But then we come to the egg hatcher... having 1/4 egg distance with double candy/XL/stardust etc on paper feels amazing... But the eggs were just awfull... I hated it, nothing special and almost no chance for a 10km egg in hopes of something good. That was a real bummer.
In general I still had an amazing experience and know that I won't buy the add ons next time unless changed.
